OleBeach: from WhatsApp and Excel to a booking platform in production

Managing sun loungers and bookings in high season without operational chaos. Interactive map, online payments and a dashboard per beach. OleBeach doesn't manage restaurant tables.

OleBeach is software for booking and managing sun loungers on the beach. For table or terrace bookings, see the custom platform.

The problem

In high season, many beaches manage sun loungers and bookings with WhatsApp, Excel and paper. No single map, no advance payments and no real-time view of occupancy.

  • Bookings duplicated or lost between channels
  • No way to see availability at a glance
  • Payments taken by hand on the day
  • Opening hours and seasons hard to coordinate

The solution

A multi-beach SaaS platform with online bookings, a sun lounger map and an operations dashboard for each business.

Sun lounger map

Visual availability. Customers choose their sun lounger and date on the website.

Bookings and payments

Checkout with Stripe. Fewer no-shows and less cash on the beach.

Seasons and opening hours

Rules per season, time slots and a configurable annual calendar.

Dashboard per beach

Each business runs its operations from a single dashboard.

Stack and approach

  • Custom development with AI as a coding accelerator
  • Stripe integration for online payments
  • Multi-tenant architecture (several beaches, one system)
  • Open source — the product belongs to the client, no lock-in

Sector: hospitality, beach bars, sun lounger concessions.
Status: in production at olebeach.com.
